Contemporary Legend
Today, MoleskineÂŽ is a brand identifying a family of notebooks, journals, planners and innovative city guides,
adapted for different functions. With a variety of page layouts, Moleskine notebooks are partners for the creative
professions and the imagination of our time.
Moleskine is supported by worldwide communities of enthusiasts who write, paint, paste and draw on Moleskine
notebooks. These communities often share images of decorated pages through blogs, social networks or photo
and video sharing platforms. Moleskine supports creativity through a number of cultural projects, workshops and
exhibitions. The Detour traveling exhibition involves great creators of our time, internationally renowned visual
artists, film directors, industrial designers, architects, musicians, and writers who donate their notebooks to the
project, to be showcased around the world. MyDetour is a parallel project aimed at new talents and art students
and all Moleskine lovers. Both projects support the non-profit Foundation lettera27 and are documented on the
permanent galleries of moleskine.com. The ancient (and typically analogical) practice of sketching and jotting down
notes now finds unexpected connections.

Moleskine
Custom Editions

Moleskine offers its notebooks as a platform for communication and a
vehicle for articulating distinctive messages. With offices in New York
and Milan, the Custom Editions Team creates limited edition projects
for many of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading cultural institutions, universities and
companies. All projects are carefully discussed prior to their approval,
design and creation. The result is a curated collection of beautifully
customized notebooks. To discuss creating your own Moleskine custom
edition, contact custom@moleskine.com.

Durability and Quality Control
One of the main focus of the Moleskine design team is to
make planners and notebooks durable, in the binding, the
stitching, the cover, the elastic band and the place marker
ribbon. Planners especially are thumbed through up to 20
times per day, 365 days a year. They need to be portable
to tuck into bags and pockets. They need to be tough.
Moleskine notebooks are made through a combination of
automated and handmade manufacturing, and submitted
to a strict quality control procedure: traction test, weigh
check, glue and ink examination, cover thickness measure,
rubber band resistance.
Despite

quality

control,

Moleskine

notebooks

and

planners may contain small flaws and differences typical
of hand made production. Every item has an identification
number in the back pocket. Via the moleskine.com
website everyone can help us improve the quality of the
production, through sending us details of any defect they
may find.

Environmental Sustainability
It is our privilege to make objects that by their nature are not disposable and will never become obsolete.
To the contrary, Moleskine notebooks tend to become the focus of fondness and good feelings, and are designed
expressly to be kept and treasured. Attachment to a Moleskine notebook only grows over time, because a Moleskine
notebook is made out of the thoughts and feelings of its owner. Still, it is also made out of paper and so, to some
extent, it is a burden on the environment. Moleskine srl is actively engaged in taking every precaution possible to
help ensure the health of the environment:
- all Moleskine notebooks are made with acid-free paper,
making Moleskine notebooks environmentally friendly products.
- FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification
- no lead
- no Pvc

Many Moleskine users love to share online the images
and videos of their notebooks, decorated with drawings,
paintings, and writings. They do so through personal
blogs and social communities. Moleskine offers to
them its own social forums and a dedicated section on
moleskine.com, the myMoleskine area. Here the user can
create her/his own profile and then upload photos, videos,
personal RSS feeds, and any kind of creation revolving
around the legendary notebook. A special Moleskine Hacks
gallery displays works by people who enjoy personalizing
notebooks, by "hacking" or customizing them, or even
combining them with other analog and digital devices.
